How it works

From “hmm, hungry” to dinner in three steps.

  1. Step 1: Tell us what you're craving.

    Any dish, any cuisine. A vague mood works too: “something cosy” is a perfectly good brief.

  2. Step 2: Make it yours.

    Choose how many you're feeding and add your own flair: extra spicy, vegan, air fryer only, whatever you've got.

  3. Step 3: Cook with Jan.

    One clear step at a time, with real timers and an AI sous chef on hand for every “wait, what?” moment.

Meet Jan

Your AI sous chef. Pot-shaped. Very good at maths.

Jan scales your recipe, times your onions, swaps the buttermilk you forgot to buy and tells you, kindly but firmly, to taste before adding more salt. Jan will never judge your knife skills. Jan might quietly judge your garlic quantities. (Not enough. It's never enough.)

  • Recipes for exactly your crowd
  • Real timers that actually ring
  • Swaps for what you haven't got
  • Safe, honest cooking advice

Masala chai and nimki: the after-hours ritual

A pan of spiced milky tea and a plate of flaky, diamond-cut nimki: the snack that turns a late night into a proper sit-down. Both recipes, how to deep-fry safely at home, and how to make a batch that lasts the week.
